This Creamy Tomato Soup with Cobweb Crema is a spooky twist on a comforting classic. Rich, velvety tomato soup is topped with a swirl of sour cream “webs,” turning an everyday dish into a Halloween showstopper. It’s easy to make, cozy to sip, and ideal for festive fall dinners.
I made this recipe one rainy October evening when I wanted something warm but fun. The soup is incredibly creamy thanks to a little cream cheese blended in, while roasted tomatoes and garlic add depth. And the best part? The cobweb effect is as simple as a swirl of thinned sour cream—no piping bags needed.
Serve it in black bowls for extra effect, with crusty bread or spooky grilled cheese cut-outs. It’s family-friendly, ready in under 30 minutes, and can be made ahead.
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween dinner or just want something comforting with a twist, this tomato soup is a hauntingly delicious pick.
